Accentuate Your Bust!

Hi everyone!

Hope you had a fab weekend, and that those of you in the US had a fun Labour Day! For our UK peeps, we’ve got free standard delivery today on orders over £50 – make sure you pop in the code FREEDEL at the checkout.

I wanted to continue talking about accentuating the parts of your body you like. A lot of fashion advice for plus size women is about “flattering” the body. That’s perfectly fine of course, but with all the talk of “hiding“, “minimising“, and “streamlining“, it makes you feel as though women over a size 16 have nothing worth being proud of. And that’s simply not true, is it?

Last week, I showcased some fantastic Yours hosiery that is great for showing off your shapely pins. This week, it’s all about the bust!

Cobalt Sequin Shoulder Mesh Dress, £35; Ditsy Print Dress, £30; Grey Military Button Tunic, £22

Those of you who are lucky to have a larger bust and are confident enough to show them off, these tunics are made for you! Scoop and square necks are always great for larger busts as they both accentuate and minimise, due to the expanse of flesh on show between the bosom and the neck. Wrap styles are also fantastic for making your cleavage look great – our cobalt evening dress does so while remaining classy and elegant.

When you want to show off your ample curves, empire waists that sit just under the bust are fabulous. But another great style is a fitted bodice, like in our brown and black ditsy print dress that shows off your upper half and creates a perfect hourglass silhouette.

Another big plus in these picks is the thick straps/sleeves mean that a busty woman’s best friend, her well supporting bra, is fully covered!

Hope you enjoyed this blog post, ladies. Stick around for more tips and fashion news!
